5 ManagEnergy 45 capacity building workshops by 2015 In 2014 focus on stimulating implementation of local sustainable energy actions

6 The Energy Efficiency Directive shall bring EU on track to meet it s 20% energy savings target by 2020!

7 2030 Framework for Climate and Energy Policies NEW! Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% Increasing the share of renewable energy to at least 27% Increasing energy efficiency by 27% Based on a review of the EED in June The proposed target builds on the achievements already reached: new buildings use half the energy they did in the 1980s and industry is about 19% less energy intensive than in 2001.

8 European Energy Security Strategy Launched on 28 May 2014 on response to the political crisis in Ukraine and the overall importance of a stable and abundant supply of energy for the EU's citizens and economy Main messages: Energy security is inseparable from 2030 climate and energy policy framework We need to act now to ensure supplies this winter and in the medium-long term Sustainable energy action at local level is considered key driver (incl. the Covenant of Mayors)

9

10 New Multiannual Financial Framework ( ) In line with EU 2020 strategy: "smart, sustainable & inclusive growth Thematic concentration: shift to a competitive low carbon economy The big bulk of EE/RES investments should come from private sector EU and national funding to complement Public authorities to pave the way Overall investment need : 850 billion across sectors

11 New Multiannual Financial Framework ( ) European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF): From 27 billion earmarked for the transition to a low carbon economy The Commission is pushing Member States to replace grants with revolving loans or guarantee funds (for residential retrofit) and energy performance contracts for public and commercial buildings The programming of how to use the ESIF in Poland is currently ongoing and form an important starting point for promotion of sustainable energy in Swietokrzyskie

12 Energy Planning in Denmark Denmark 43,094 km million people 98 municipalities 5 regions, but limited role in the energy field

13 Danish Energy Policy Energy agreement of March 2012: Denmark to be covered 100% by Renewable Energy from 2050 Milestones: 2020: Half of the electricity consumption is covered by wind power 2030: Coal is phased out from Danish power plants. Oil burners phased out 2035: The electricity and heat supply covered 100% by renewable energy 2050: All energy supply electricity, heat, industry and transport is covered by renewable energy 2020: 35 pct. greenhousegas reduction in relation to 1990

14 Fulfilling the energy policy requires local actions and competent energy advice The five Danish regions are in a process on elaborating regional sustainable energy action plans. Copenhagen and Bornholm undertake some of the leading initiatives. Hear more at this workshop Accompanied with energy advice efforts to encourage and qualify the sustainable energy actions. Sustainable energy is considered a key driver to create green growth
